Describes the different types of JViews requests and provides detailed information on their parameters.

JViews requests

Lists client request parameters and provides example URLs.

Common requests

Describes common requests available in all JViews Web components

Available requests for JViews Diagrammer, JViews Maps and JViews TGO

Describes requests available in all JViews Diagrammer, JViews Maps and JViews Telecom Graph Objects Web components.

JViews requests

JViews Web technologies provide the necessary client/server infrastructure to display your JViews product data on a Web browser. Information exchange with request parameters is performed on the client side and mapped to the servlet which responds, if appropriate, with an image update.

This section contains a list of all client request parameters together with their expected values that are available in JViews Web applications. For each request, the specific servlet/servlet support class required to respond is also provided and an example URL to further explain the exchange protocols. The list starts with common requests that you can use in all JViews Web components, then presents product specific requests and finally introduces special requests available in JViews Google Maps™ Web components.

Common requests

There are four common requests which are used for all JViews components:

pop-up menu : to display a static or contextual pop-up menu when the application user right-clicks in the view.

resource loading : to load resources (.gif, .jpg, .js, .jpeg, .css, .png) from the client.

script message loading : to loadJavaScript messages.

selection : to select objects in the view.

The following sections provide tables of possible parameters with their expected values for each common request. If a parameter must exist in a request, this is indicated by a value true in the Required column. The Expected value column gives predefined options in JViews components. When security checking is enabled, these expected values are compared with the values sent by the user request. A true value in the Compared by default column indicates that the comparison is performed by default.

Pop-up menu

The pop-up menu request displays a static or contextual pop-up menu when the application user right-clicks in the view and is supported by the class IlvManagerPopupServletSupport and IlvFacesDiagrammerPopupSupport.

Available requests for JViews Diagrammer, JViews Maps and JViews TGO

JViews Diagrammer, JViews Maps and JViews TGO share the same types of requests.

For detailed information on Servlet/Servlet support classes, see Servlet and component classes.

The following sections provide tables of possible parameters with their expected values for each request. If a parameter must exist in a request, this is indicated by a value true in the Required column.. The Expected value column gives predefined options in JViews components. When security checking is enabled, these expected values are compared with the values sent by the user request. A true value in the Compared by default column indicates that the comparison is performed by default.
